To the crossing guards at North and Dublin and also at Chebucto and Harvard. I’m 20 and don’t really need to be helped across the street but it is still nice to have someone stop traffic for me once in a while. Like today in the rain when you stopped the cars and we had our little chat on the sidewalk. Its nice to stop for a couple minutes and talk, even on a rainy Tuesday morning.
I can see why a crossing guard is needed on North as the cars almost never stop to let me cross so I appreciate you being out there to help me.
Thank you so much. —Just Trying to Cross the Street
